The Long and Winding Road
Time is always a huge factor in our busy lives. (Now I am hearing a little Jim Croche, Time in a Bottle!)
I had a very difficult time finding time to work on this assignment. It was a great experience and I would love to go back at my leisure and discover more and personal applications for these sites. My favorite was uTube, it's awesome!
But I am Whooo-hooo glad that its done!
Later Gator.

What a cutie pie! UTube absolutely rocks! It has everything!!!
I was all over the Podcasts sites, willing to learn and ready to give it a shot! While readding the the info. I discovered that time is running short and I didn't necessarily need to do my own. It's something I will do later.
I joined NetLibrary and played around with several titles. I guess I'll need to get a player so I can have better access. I love to listen to books in the car, but would rather have a real book in my hands. That makes it a little hard for me to drive, although I have seen others do it!

OK, where did it go? It was here yesterday!
Oh well, let's move on.
Youtube has it all. You can do the educational thing and find some thing to learn or teach someone else. You find hours and hours of entertainment from silly cat videos, (personally I like the dogs more) movie clips, and selected artists singing.
Any one would love the internet for just this site alone. It's fabulous! Thanks Youguys.

ZOHO Writer would be great tool for someone yous doesn't have their own computer. I can see someone using this attending college or at a public library.
My favorite feature of any program is Spell Check! Ha! I also liked the fact that others could view and comment. Lots of possibilities there for teachers of all ages!

#7 Wiki's
Why bother if we are doing a better job of sharing information in a Wiki!
The only concern I have is sabotage. Remember when we used to hear about someone messing with Wikipedia? The information we use, needs to be verifiable and based on fact.
I had fun leaving messages in our Favorite things Wiki. Let's continue with that.

Away from the Icebergs and A tempory place in time.....
(What ever floats your boat etc.)
At a Librarians workshop 15 years ago, the speaker said we HAVE to become more user friendly or be blown out of the water! (I wish I could remember his name.) It's all about packaging and now, no training necessary.
The time of a new mindset and expectations is here. The old concept of a traditional Library has faded into the sunset or sunk to the bottom of the sea in this story.
I liked the idea of harnessing users in the design and implementation of services. Smooth talkin', and practical.
Library 4D is mind boggling. The Garden of Eden of Libraries??? I think not! Technology is ever changing, so will be user needs. A knowledge spa, meditation, and relaxation, bring it on!

Made some funny get well cards on these sites.
Library thing is going to be a cool tool when I retire. I like the fact that it has free reviews & recomendations. Free books to if you want to write reviews.
Rollyo is always closed for maintenance, so I took a look at one of their other sites, Tweetage W@steland. This guy is pretty funny. I read his blog Confession #43. He is a really good writer and has way to much time!
As for the reply to other blogs. I pray that many of you got my Hi there have a good Spring Break!
